nai sahar hai ye logo naya sawera hai
tulua ho chuka suraj magar andhera hai

khuda hi jaane ye dil kab khuda ka ghar hoga
abhi to is mein butan-e-hawas ka dera hai

abhi na de mujhe aawaz ai gham-e-jaanan
abhi to shahr-e-wafa mein bada andhera hai

na saeban na aangan na chhat na raushan-dan
aur is pe sab se ladai ki ghar ye mera hai

ye dar-o-gir ki duniya mein kahna mushkil hai
ki kaun is mein luta kaun yan lutera hai

ye sare jhagde hain bas ek do pahar ke liye
ki nur-e-mehr na mera hai aur na tera hai

wafa nisar ho us ki wafa-shanasi par
hazar gardishon ke baad bhi jo mera hai
